Please feel free to join us for our volunteer tea happening May 30 from 8:30am - 9:30am. There will be tea, coffee, and small treats to enjoy to show our deepest appreciation for all that you do at this school. We will have a small speech and presentation from students from 9:15am - 9:30am. We ask for no students in the gym during our tea time but we will have teachers supervising the playground for you to leave them outside from whenever you arrive until school begins. Invitations have been sent home with a link to an RSVP; please reply to the RSVP by May 23 at the latest. We can’t wait to see you there!

Planning For the 2025-26 School Year
It is hard to believe, but we are already well underway planning for the 2025-26 school year! Please be sure to contact the office and let us know if your family will be moving out of our catchment area or if you know that your child will not be returning to Ranchlands School next year.
Please note: All of our Grade 6 students will be automatically designated to H.D. Cartwright School for Grade 7, and parents do not need to do anything unless you plan for your child to attend somewhere else for Grade 7.
As always, please call the office at 403-777-6350 ext 0 if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful weekend!
